Ingredients

• 115 grams unsalted butter
• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 100 grams brown sugar, packed
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 50 grams all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 170 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 125 grams chopped walnuts (or pecans)
• 1 piece prepared 9-inch pie crust

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove the saucepan from heat as soon as the butter is melted and set it aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Pour the melted butter over the sugars and whisk until well combined and smooth.

Step 4

Add the eggs to the bowl, one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition.

Step 5

Stir in the flour, salt, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and smooth.

Step 6

Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (or pecans), ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Place the prepared pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan. Pour the filling mixture into the crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.

Step 9

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing. This will allow the filling to set properly.

Step 10

Serve the pie warm or at room temperature, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
